SAN JOSE, CALIF. - Canadian Jesse Levine and Xavier Malisse were first-round winners at the SAP Open.

Levine defeated Bradley Klahn 7-5, 6-2. Klahn won two of the first three games of the second set before Levine won the next five to close out the match.

The No. 8 seed Malisse took out Go Soeda 6-4, 3-6, 6-3. He had 18 aces and won 4-of-7 break points.

Top-seeded Canadian slugger Milos Raonic is on hand as the two-time reigning champion. He beat Uzbekistan's Denis Istomin in last year's finale at HP Pavilion and has yet to lose a match in San Jose (8-0).

The second seed this week is 6-foot-9 American John Isner.

This long-time California event will move to Memphis next year. And after moving to Memphis in 2014, the tournament will then shift to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
